Pioneer Wagon Treats {for kids}
Many years ago I came across the idea to make miniature pioneer wagons for a Pioneer Day treat. {I think it was in The Friend magazine?} We've done them probably every year for the past 10 years. We've even made them on vacation with the children's cousins. It's a fun activity for a group of children.
Assemble your supplies to make Pioneer Wagon Treats:
something for the wagon box: granola bars, cut brownies, miniature candy bars
something for the wheels: mini Oreos, lifesavers, round gummy candies, round fruit snacks
large marshmallows for the wagon cover
something to stick it together: melted chocolate, frosting
optional: licorice for the pull bar, animal crackers for the oxen, additional treats to decorate a scene
Each child gets to make their own. It ends up being sticky and messy, but that's part of the fun! We take a photo and then they get to eat them.
